Create a unique and fashionable look using vintage clothing for your next sewing project! In this program instructor Kimberly Oedekoven explains how to design a stylish wardrobe using second-hand, thrift shop clothes. After providing practical thrifting tips, Oedekoven goes into the studio to demonstrate some easy-to-make pattern ideas. Projects include sweatshirt stenciling, weaving a belt from a button-down shirt, making a winter hat from a wool sweater, and crafting a skirt from pair of jeans.
